Four & Sons

In our (almost) eponymous issue, we learn about musos and their pets, the powerful snouts of a working dog, and how to turn a debilitating ‘black dog’ into a positive force. We talk to creatives about ruddy pit bulls, homeless mutts, hyperactive sheep dogs, and a pooch named after the Basque word for ‘friend’. We read about what goes on inside a dog’s mind, get wise tips about the perils of dog walking, and laugh out loud about the one mutt that truly ‘ate my homework’. We marvel at London’s love affair for all four-legged breeds, and get inspired by Irish wolfhounds, collages, goofy Weimaraners, and a very creative use of Post-its. All this, and more, inside the covers.

Four&Sons; is both a print and online publication where dogs and culture collide. Throughout history dogs have played myriad roles,from comrades-in-arms to companions at our heels. We want to add muse to that list. It’s a mystery how they do it, but we’ve discovered that our four-legged friends open up an incredible channel of creativity. Chronicling the work of interesting people and their interesting dogs, Four&Sons; is a bi-annual trip through the
worlds of art, photography, music, literature—even maths—as inspired by man’s-best-friend. Reflecting the ideas, projects and interests of our human readers.
